One News Now - BBC, Others Tread on Thin Ice

By Chad Groening, OneNewsNow.com

A Christian law firm says it's absolutely outrageous that despite an appeal from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the British Broadcasting Company still refuses to acknowledge Jerusalem as Israel's capital on its Olympics website.

The American Center for Law & Justice is concerned about the recent revelation that the BCC -- which holds the rights to broadcast this year's Olympic games and is considered the largest broadcast organization in the world -- intentionally refuses to list Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on its official Olympics website. Jordan Sekulow, executive director of the ACLJ, says the Olympics should transcend politics.

"Things have changed since the prime minister's office contacted the BBC, but they still will not recognize Jerusalem as the capital," Sekulow tells OneNewsNow. "What their website says now is that Jerusalem is the seat of government but [that] most foreign embassies are in Tel Aviv. And then for the Palestinians, it says that their intended capital is East Jerusalem, but that their government administrative offices are in Ramallah. So you see the playing politics.". . .
